C. difficile Initiative

Lake Superior QIN and nursing homes across the region are partnering in an initiative aimed at preparing facilities for future quality reporting requirements, advancing infection control practices, and having a positive impact on resident outcomes. Participating homes are using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s national standard for C. difficile tracking through the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), as well as receiving education and tools for infection control and prevention across all healthcare-associated infections.

Virtual Learning Labs

Join us as we walk through the data submission process and answer questions or concerns you have related to surveillance and data submission to NHSN. Please plan to have at least one person from your facility attend one offering each month. These events are only open to those participating in the C. difficile initiative and registration is required. Please reach out to your state contact for more information
